Plot (short): There are at least 3 DVDs. ~1h20 each. 12 Programmes with 5 minute Introduction and 10 minute documentary (Cornelsen). Bonus clip with foods. Optional subtitles. I thought I found it earlier, but currently can't find it. I found a book sample (Japanese version, publisher Seibido). Maybe this is the original production? At least some clips were produced by Swedish Tellus Vision (Vol 1 only ?).
Pic 1 from review unit (7), book, on left Robert from LA?, pic 2 below from DVD 2 (Japanese sample). Obviously there are mainly or only grown ups or older teens shown and many landscape scenes.
Full Japanese title: World Wide English on DVD - For Global Communication Skills. (I only found 2 volumes there, green and orange covers, revised edition). Probably abridged. Original title: 世界で輝く若者たちの英語. First edition vol 1 is yellow.
